Winter woes and other notes

[misscam]

Got your gifts, gabesaunt, mademoisellenon and wintergreen126. Thank you! I haven't opened them all yet, as I am deciding whether or not to dare put them under the tree. No one's given me anything particulary naughty, right?

So I wandered off for a few days, not really enough time for anyone to miss me, but I should be back now, anyway. Really, I'm feeling a bit down and tired and vaguely depressed and can't quite pinpoint the reason why, though this is a good contender. It's dark, it's gloomy, and we have no snow. In fact, Norway haven't had such a lack of snow since the 1930s. The thing is, the snow does help a bit - for one thing, it reflects the sunlight and makes it feel a bit lighter. Right now, it's fucking depressing. I want snow. Woe. (They reported on the news parts of Texas had snowfall. WTF? Who stole our snow and dumped it on Texas?)

Spent the weekend pretty much hibernating, too. Crawled up on the couch and watched sports and Rome on DVD, which was quite watchable. Felt a very strong urge to just go to Italy for the winter and eat grapes. (Also, I'd totally do Rome's Cæsar. I'm just saying.) Shall try to summon the energy to be more sociable, though. And actually do some of the stuff I'm meant to do. Fanfic writing and converting and uploading, wheee

Christmas Love Meme, Anon Style - so you can cheer me up there, if you want.

Hogfather looks bloody good. Want.

saxihighlandck tagged me for Ten Fictional Characters I Would Shag (in no particular order other than as they came to mind - and I only did one per fiction, even though they might have more than one shaggable person)
The Doctor (Doctor Who. Hey, at the very least it would be interesting.)
Warrick (CSI)
Burke (Grey's Anatomy)
Cæsar (Rome)
Elrond (Lord of the Rings)
Vetinari (Discworld)

Mark Darcy (Bridget Jones's Diary)
Tony (Wire in the Blood)

Torchwood wank - well, at least it's following in the tradition of its wank-mummy.

So, did I miss anything while being dormant in my lair? What's happening in yours?

I'm being surprisingly good this Christmas, so nothing naughty, no! Not making any promises for any other gifts of mine though :P

:P

I might dare stick it under the tree, then. Unless it's horridly geeky instead. Not sure I want to share my geekness with the family.

Let's put it this way... It's...appropriate! :P

OMG I thought I was the only human being alive with a Vetinari kink!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Noooo. I'd totally do him. He's just so.... Vetinari.

You might have missed this wank? Right before the Torchwood one.

Thanks for the Torchwood wank! A very amusing read in the morning before work.

I've been wondering what's happened to winter as well. Granted, I don't think it's even within the realm of possibility for it to snow here (that'd be awesome), but a little rain would be nice. Humidity has been below 10% for a week or two, and my cracking, dry skin just can't take it anymore! Seriously, like two points on my knuckles started bleeding the other day. Not nice.

We've had a lot of rain. Blah. If only it would've been a bit colder, we could have had loads of snow.

Weathergods so unfair. On everyone, it seems.

It would seem that my depression has seeped through the internet to infect others. :) This has been the crummiest week, of which I'm blaming no small part on the cold and dreary weather we're having here as well. The past few days have been the kind where all I want to do is curl up in bed for a movie marathon and only come out to pay the pizza delivery boy....stupid job hindering my best laid plans....

It is nice to know I'm not the only one with a thing for Tony Hill.

It's amazing what weather can do to your moods, really. People wonder why Scandinavians aren't the most energetic of people - see how they'd feel spending November here, hah!

I have similar tempting best laid plans, in fact.

Hee. There's always at least one person out there sharing one's kink, I tell you.

Girl, I could have told you it snowed in Texas. Given that I live there...I will say it was really (pardon the pun) cool to have snow coming down. We get it maybe once a year.

And we didn't steal your snow!

...We stole Canada's.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Who stole ours then, huh? HUH?!?

The culprits will be tracked down and get our October weather dumped all over. Grrr.

[kasuchi]

Bloody hell, I don't know. Ask your meteorologist.

Yeeeeeeeah, baby.

[misscam.livejournal.com]

I hear ya, sister-in-lust.

[marcasite.livejournal.com]

Yay! You got the present. Nothing to big but I love Xmas. It is my favorite holiday! :)

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Hard to hate such an excuse to give and get gifts and pig out on good food.

I kinda opened yours since I'm naughty...

[marcasite.livejournal.com]

OOoh! Did you like? Yay! I don't even know how you waited as long as you did.
I have to open gifts right away. I have no will power!

[misscam.livejournal.com]

Haven't had a listen to it yet, but looks good :) I adore ASH's voice.

I open some gifts right away - depends how much suspicion I have what's inside, really. Heh. I was suspecting DW stuff.

Oh, did I tell you I got your Christmas card (several weeks back, at least, by now)? Thanks so much! :D
